Illegal detainment? Kyle Kashuv gives more details of his questioning by law enforcement

As Twitchy reported last Saturday, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor and Second Amendment advocate Kyle Kashuv posted to Twitter photos and video of a trip to a gun range with his father and a shooting instructor. Kashuv said it was his first time touching a gun.

As reported Monday, however, Kashuv said he was called out of class and interrogated by an armed school resource officer, a second security officer, and a third officer from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

“They continued to question me aggressively, though they could cite nothing I had done wrong,” Kashuv said. “They kept calling me ‘the pro-Second Amendment kid.’ I was shocked and honestly, scared. It definitely felt like they were attempting to intimidate me. I was treated like a criminal for no reason other than having gone to the gun range and posted on social media about it.”

Montel Williams chimed in on Tuesday:

So @KyleKashuv, went to a gun range *WITH HIS FATHER outside school hours. I don’t understand how that justifies being interrogated by rent-a-cops and then by a sworn officer without giving his parents the chance to be present? https://t.co/pUBIecoL7v

That inspired this response from a teacher, who said that “most gun owners would not hold their gun in this same posed manner.”

As a teacher from Stoneman Douglas, any student posting photos holding guns, knives or other weapons would be questioned. 4 federal cases have ruled in the last 10 years that assault weapons are not protected. Most gun owners would not hold their gun in this same posed manner

I understand the point but this is none of yours or the school’s business, and it’s certainly inappropriate to have three cops interrogate a 16 year old (illegally mind you) over a tweet that depicts an entirely lawful activity he did with his dad?

Keep in mind this isn’t someone with a ton of red flags like Nikolas Cruz; it’s a kid who recently met with the president and first lady in the Oval Office to talk about school safety.

Locked office and an officer blocking his exit – this information wasn't included in the article I tweeted earlier and changes absolutely everything. This is why I asked for more information before forming an opinion – this is the info I wanted. Take 'em to the cleaners, kid. https://t.co/2zUdUsDLsa

It’s 3 Federal cases and NONE of them are remotely relevant here – your tweet dangerously misunderstands the issue and the law. It’s also stunningly inappropriate for a teacher to write a tweet like this about a student. Read the JDB case and get back to us.

What exactly is wrong with how he is holding the gun? It is pointed downward, in a safe position. His finger is outside the trigger guard. He is wearing eye/ear protection, and is AT A GUN RANGE ENGAGING IN 100% LAWFUL ACTIVITY. So, what part of this is the business of MSD HS??? https://t.co/Wpz6cpaPjx
